Amazon India offers sellers free Covid-19 health insurance

Amazon.in is providing a Covid-19 health insurance policy free of cost to its sellers in India.

The insurance will help cover the expenses related to Covid-19 hospitalisation and treatment as well as ambulance assistance and ICU charges of up to ₹50,000, and will be valid for one year after activation, said the company.

Amazon will fully fund the premium for this health insurance. It has partnered with Acko General Insurance to manage the policy delivery and handling of claims and reimbursements. This is expected to benefit lakhs of Amazon sellers who have had an active product listing on Amazon.in between January 2019 and May 26, 2020.
